Britain’s Got Talent has birthed many a child star, but this young man had a whole different agenda.
It’s a known fact that when a comedian appears on the BGT stage, the chances of them winding the judges up as part of their jokes, are pretty high.
But what we didn’t quite expect was the joke that eight-year-old Ned Woodman made, much to Amanda Holden's absolute disgrace, back in 2017.
Ned starred on the 11th series of the hit ITV talent show.
It was clear that the young man wanted to make an impression on the audience, and to be fair to him, he did exactly that.

But he certainly got underneath Amanda’s skin with his outrageous joke.
At first, the eight-year-old appeared to be a relatively quiet, sweet boy, but what came out of his mouth was the total opposite.
Before Ned even began his performance, Alesha Dixon said: "I love him already."
Don't speak too soon...

He opened his act up with the scathing joke, and said: “Why were people so excited about that talking dog on Britain's Got Talent?
“Amanda Holden’s been on it for years.”
*Queue gasps from every corner of the venue*
After her jaw dropping to the floor in astonishment, Amanda was quick to smash her red buzzer while Simon Cowell gave a standing applause.
Ned then took a cheeky dig at the iconic presenting duo Ant and Dec, saying: “I’m not sure which one is meant to be the funny one?”

Surprisingly, they took it very well.
But they weren’t the only three to be made fun of by the young comedian, he made jokes about all of the judges, and the one he made about David Walliams was particularly funny.
He said: “I was really worried for David Walliams when he said he swam in the River Thames for charity, because of all that garbage going in his mouth.
“But since I’ve been watching BGT, I’m relieved it is all coming out again.”

It seemed as though after the show, Amanda, who got grilled the most out of everyone, was able to see the funnier side of the joke.
When the episode aired, she tweeted: "WOOF."
Ned ended up making it to the final of season 11 of BGT, coming in 10th place. Pianist Tokio Myers took home the win.
